Install VMWare Tools on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Tue, 2010-05-25 10:55 — webmaster
Also having problems with the installation of VMWare Tools on an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Client?
This is how I solved it:
* sudo apt-get autoremove open-vm-tools --purge
* sudo shutdown -r now
* sudo apt-get install open-vm-source
* pager /usr/share/doc/open-vm-source/README.Debian
* sudo module-assistant prepare open-vm
* sudo module-assistant auto-install open-vm
* sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends open-vm-tools open-vm-dkms zerofree
The "--no-install-recommends" is to avoid the installation of X11 related packages.
If you do have a GUI, leave the "--no-install-recommends" out.
* sudo shutdown -r now
Many thanks to hmontoliu and Kazuhiro NISHIYAMA for their suggestions.

I appreciate you for giving such a useful blog. this website was not only knowledgeable but also very artistic too. There are only few professionals who can think to write not so easy stuff that creatively.I look for articles about this topic. I just read through the entire article of yours and it was quite good. This is a great article thanks for sharing this informative information. I will visit your blog regularly for some latest post
Updating Kernel Headers in advance
Before you start this procedure, please run this after "sudo shutdown -r now":
* sudo apt-get install build-essential
* sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Then you are sure that the latest kernel headers are available.
